"social media and news monitoring"

What do you like best?

Diffbot provides great APIs, technical resource, and overall service. Their technical resources are one of the most advanced and highly accurate. Diffbot's team keeps their APIs up to date with social media's rapid evolution. The customer support is equally helpful and very friendly. They are very willing to work with flexible scenarios, accommodate needs and low budgets for small research groups, provide demo and trial accounts to experiment. Overall, they are the best social media data provider and analysis company, in my experience of over a decade.

What do you dislike?

This is more like a suggestion. Diffbot has several excellent capabilities and they are constantly improving and adding new features. Current customers and perhaps prospective ones too would benefit from a weekly/monthly newsletter, or social media updates, about these new developments.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would strongly recommend Diffbot. But if you are still undecided, contact their support staff for demo/trial account. You won't regret it!

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Social media and news monitoring.

Diffbot's services have allowed us to streamline our data collection method. Previously, we wrote our own web crawlers/scrapers for blog sites which would break quite frequently. Diffbot has removed that hurdle. We are now looking forward to using the NLP/AI capabilities provided by Diffbot.

"A very good service for anyone needing content extraction and much more."

What do you like best?

Having tried a number of similar services in the past, we were very pleasantly surprised as to how good the content extraction is. The contacts we have dealt with at Diffbot have also been extremely helpful.

What do you dislike?

There's not much to dislike. It does the job very well.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Clean spidering and content extraction of websites.

"Diffbot's Knowledge Graph is truly a web-scale database you can query"

What do you like best?

The KG is amazingly comprehensive. Products, people, corporations, and more all linked together in a contextual way.

KG provides a user friendly way of feeling like you've scraped the whole web. No custom scraping rules, no need to figure out the nuances of where information is housed online. Just query and see if what you're looking for is on the public web.

Finally, export features are great. You can export to CSV or JSON. I believe there are also a host of APIs where you can extract data on different entity types.

What do you dislike?

For advanced queries you do have to learn Diffbot's query language (DQL)

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Try out the free trial. It doesn't take long to get up and running with the KG. In a matter of a few minutes you can begin to see what types of entities are returned from queries. If you want a little more hand holding reach out for a demo and their team will show you some cool queries, use cases for the Knowledge Graph, etc.

Also, Diffbot's crawling product is relatively low barrier to entry. Try it out to pull ALL SORTS of data from competing sites.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We've used Diffbot's KG for a variety of online media operations including:

- Live news monitoring of higher education entities

- Pulling of trends for data journalism projects

- Product price fluctuations for the purposes of placing affiliate links

"Great service for both, quick MVPs and professional applications"

What do you like best?

The parsing quality is best of breed - and adapts well to all sorts of websites

What do you dislike?

The scheduling and organizing of crawljobs is not perfect yet - hoping to see some improvements coming up there.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We use Diffbot to crawl a large amount of global news outlets

"Like an extension of our infrastructure"

What do you like best?

Working with just one engineer, we were able to get a simple integration going within a week. We used the Article API to scale up and improve something we had already been doing in-house but didn't have the necessary resources to justify doing on our own. Diffbot allowed us to outsource something that was not a core focus and use those freed up resources to scale up other aspects of our infrastructure.

What do you dislike?

Not much really. Our rep keeps reminding us we're only using a fraction of what we could be using. One of these days we'll have the time to explore some of the higher-level knowledge graph APIs, one of these days.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Crawling and extracting information from HTML.
